JoAlice was a proud Jayhawker from Kansas that loved spending time with friends and family. She was also active in her church for many years, from singing in the choir to serving on the church board alongside her husband Don. She enjoyed sports, and was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. Above all else, JoAlice was a faithful servant who was unafraid to share her faith (or for that matter her opinion!) with anyone. She will be missed by all that knew her.
